Summary[edit]

Description
English: This is a children’s reading book which is more than 70 years old. The text (language) is in Italian. In the early 1900s, many Italian families left Italy to move to different countries around the world. This book of stories was read by children in their new country.

Object description: This is an Italian reading book for primary-aged children. It was produced by the Italian Mussolini government in 1933. It measures 18cm × 24cm. The title of the book is Letture, Classe Terza, Scuole Italiane All’Estero. This translates as Reading Book, for Third Grade, Italian Schools Abroad. The spine is bound in blue. The illustration on the front cover is of electric power lines.

History:

This Italian school reading book was one of two readers sent from Italy to Jennie Di Blasi and her sister. The Di Blasi family migrated to Moresby, North Queensland in 1915. Italian migrant children like Jennie Di Blasi and her sister would have read this book to help further their Italian language studies. Jennie Di Blasi donated this Italian reader from her childhood, together with many of her family’s artefacts to the Queensland Museum in 1999.
